I couldn't have made it without such great info from you when I wrote that article. Thanks!

Great video! I visited this just a few weeks ago!

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

Very cool! It's a great spot with a lot more than I expected, like the boxcar and the replica caboose. The signage was also very well done.

Neat video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

Absolutely! It's a joy to make them.

Number 9 deserves to run again

[@searchingforthecsnarrowgau8853]

I wish it could too. There is a great book describing its restoration to operation and why it only ran for the 2006 season at the Georgetown Loop. It's called One Short Season by Jason Midyette. Great book.
